To shot and the fucker never says why or how its going to happen. No one ever believes me if I post videos without proof in them.
Governments got to get a cut of all transactions. How else will the lower class survive?

"If a farmer sells less than $500,000 in produce a year, and sells most of it to consumers, restaurants, or grocery stores (rather than brokers or processors) within his own state or within 275 miles, then it would be exempt from the new regulations."
Next?

Well that's gay if it goes through. At least it doesn't directly affect me though.

"The estate tax is paid by the recipients of an inheritance – most often family heirs – and is due within 9 months of the decedent’s death. If the heirs do not have sufficient cash, personal property and business assets must be sold to pay the tax.
In the case of family business owners and farmers, the tax often exceeds the ability of the family to pay. These heirs are consequently forced to sell off part, if not all, of their enterprise in order to pay the tax."
No Death Tax » What is the Death Tax?
No more passing on anything to your kids. The gov will try to seize it when you die.

lol subigo has been on a "nothing to see here" campaign for months.
Anytime a politician - or a group of 'em - tries to intervene in voluntary exchange, it is wrong. Moreover, it does harm since it retards market forces that set prices based on risk, potential for profit, etc.
The fact that the bill seems to give plenty of room to growers, and will affect few, is irrelevant. Once passed, the encroachment on voluntary exchange grows. It always does.

It's not a "nothing to see here" campaign, it's a "I'm sick of seeing misinformation spread on every fucking website I visit" campaign. People are trying to make it sound like it would be illegal for your grandmother to grow carrots. There's a big difference between your grandmother's garden and a $500k/year operation.
I don't pay much attention to how people make things sound. Too much emotion, too little logic.
To your point, I dislike misinformation as well. But dismissing a piece of legislation that impairs voluntary exchange because someone says it would make it illegal for a grandmother to grow carrots is just as wrong. And that reflects poorly on the person making the dismissal.
I'm not dismissing the bill, I'm dismissing the retarded YouTube video in post #1. I'd post a link to the actual bill, but that would require people to, you know, read and come up with their own thoughts. But that's too much work, especially when there's a 60 second YouTube clip that will tell you what to think.
Your post led me to a hasty conclusion. Given how sparse it was, I hope you can forgive my taking it in a different context.
On this, we are closer to the same side than our exchange would imply. But if you talk shit about my grandmother's garden again, you're asking for trouble.
